using it with Cover

[Winzy54]

hello. i used the custom:template-entity-row and it looks very good. but when i used it for seconday on my cover, i lose the ability to change the cover position.

thats the code i used: entity: cover.stairs type: custom:template-entity-row secondary: >- {% if is_state(‘binary_sensor.stairs’, ‘on’)%} Window is Open {% else %} Window is Closed {% endif %}

when i dont use the custom:template-entity-row then on the stairs window i also have the option to move the cover like the “Middle” cover.

1. You posted an unformatted code which cannot be analysed, you should have noticed it by yourself.
2. The template-entity-row card is not supposed to show controls. It is meant to show templated name, icon, state, secondary-info & some other options (whole list in Docs) of a standard entity-row.

hi. first of all thanks for your answer. I am a real Newbie to HA and github, so sorry about my post.

and i thought the main entity could stay as normal (with control) and i could use template entity row only for the secondary info. did i understand it wrong ?

Here is the whole code for it. hope i posted it correctly now

type: entities
entities:
  - entity: cover.stairs
    type: custom:template-entity-row
    secondary: >-
      {% if is_state('binary_sensor.stairs', 'on')%} Window is Open {% else %}
      Window is Closed {% endif %}
  - entity: cover.middle
  - entity: cover.kitchen_2
  - entity: binary_sensor.kitchen
show_header_toggle: true
title: Living Room
state_color: true

No, the whole row is different. Try custom:secondaryinfo-entity-row. It will give you buttons & templated secondary_info.

thank you again. so i installed the Card Tools and the secondaryinfo-entity-row

but i cant seems to use it. it says it cant find the card.

i didnt do this because i those it will be automatically. ( how can i check if the lovelace is updated with this?) 3) Update the Lovelace configuration to use the plugins resources: url: /hacsfiles/card-tools.js type: module url: /hacsfiles/secondaryinfo-entity-row.js type: module

Your question is not related to template-entity-row. Suggest to close the issue & ask all questions related to secondaryinfo-entity-row in it's repo )
